Amazon Echo is a hands-free speaker you control with your voice.

Be aware if you're buying this as a bedroom clock radio replacement, as I did, that you can not set music alarms.

You'll see on-line reviews stating a feature of the device is that it can set multiple music alarms, however if you try that in Australia you'll get a "music alarms are not supported in your region" response.

Perversely if you have an American Amazon account and use that to set up your Echo, you can set up music alarms with Spotify or TuneIn, and this works fine. However, music alarms still don't work with Amazon Music Unlimited even if you use an American account.

If you use an American account instead of an Australian account you'll receive occasional complaints from Alexa that skills can not be automatically added unless your region matches your account.

This is the response I got from Amazon support (copy and paste from an email) -"As we are under developing Alexa with more skills, it si under development. yes there was a beta option before and for few amendments the feature is still under development."

Yes I agree Amazon is "under developing Alexa" :)

I sort of like Alexa, it's sort of cute, but it does not work as advertised.

Awesome device, bought 2 when released in Australia. They work great with my LIFX smart lights and Amazon Music Unlimited subscription. Very handy to have around the house for news, weather, timers, reminders etc. I'm looking forward to more local Alexa skills (Qantas, Energy Australia, Uber etc are a great start), but more so general features, particularly being able to setup multiple users for voice recognition (doesn’t seem to be available upon release in Australia?).

How much fun are these, works well with amazon music as well. Only thing is I can’t listen to amazon music on my phone while the family listens to it on the echo. Been waiting for years for one of these and finally I have one

With the limited Australian skills this device works great and will only get better over time. Had the echo dot 2nd gen and this sounds a lot better with great bass. Perfect to use in the kitchen/living area while using the echo dot in the bedroom. Will slowly convert my house to a smart home with this being the feature.

Bought this for my mum after she had been asking about smart home devices. My whole family absolutely adore our Echo and it has become second nature to use it. It intergrated great with our smart lights (Philips Hues) and was a breeze to set up. Even in the 2 weeks we have been using it there is a constant stream of new Skills for Alexa, which is incredible when you think it's only been released for a month in AUS. LOVE IT and can't wait to get another one!

A bit disappointed, I have to yell for "alexa " to hear me, when I ask her to play music by any artist she starts with the most obscure and unpopular songs by that artist , even if I ask her to play the "best of" so I have to ask her to skip the song she's chosen CONSTANTLY! Also, I have a full membership to audible.com.au and I mostly bought my echo so it could read me my books but audible au isn't supposed by the echo yet and this is sooooo annoying that I may return my echo unit. ;(

Echo has met my expectations but has not overly exceeded them.The base use for me with this device so far is mostly searching, music, a extremely loud Alarm (i really needed that) and for keeping myself organized.The skills are still something i am learning, and are proving slightly annoying but not too much, also Alexa sometimes wont understand what i am saying, although i never expected everytime it happens that it would occur almost 7 or 8 times.I have yet to purchase Smart home products but i do intend to increase the amount of Echos in my house. They are useful and i am very happy with this purchase.
